jpmaximus Posted February 18, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 18, 2010 For those of you who have recently sailed out of Port canaveral i was wondering if the lifeboat drill ended before the ship departed? I sailed last year and i was so upset because we left port while i was sitting in the show lounge waiting for the drill to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKane Posted February 18, 2010 #3 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Sail away was during the drill though it ended before we were out of the channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eperaza Posted February 18, 2010 #4 Share Posted February 18, 2010 all the cruises ive been on the drill has ended just in time to run back to your cabin, rip off the life vest and run up to the lido deck just in time to watch the boat sail away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Beach Bum Posted February 19, 2010 #8 Share Posted February 19, 2010 For those of you who have recently sailed out of Port canaveral i was wondering if the lifeboat drill ended before the ship departed? I sailed last year and i was so upset because we left port while i was sitting in the show lounge waiting for the drill to end. Just off the Spriit 2/7 sailing. We departed San Diego on Super Bowl Sunday. To my surprise our life boat drill was not until Monday morning at 10:00am. Many people were upset about the timing of that life boat drill also, I guess they didn't want to get up early. Why don't they just scrap the lifeboat drill for past cruisers?

mrpayroll Posted February 19, 2010 #9 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Was on the Dream in Jan. The drill was at 3:30 and lasted about 15 minutes. No jacket required and was held inside at different locations. Was done way before we left port canaveral....:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Jan 17th cruise out of Port Canaveral, the ship began moving before muster was complete. Only a few minutes, however. Feb 4th cruise out of Port Canaveral, we finished muster & made it to the top deck just as the ropes were dropped for us to sail. Leave the life jacket in your cabin, but bring your camera to muster ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate not being able to watch and enjoy sail away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted February 19, 2010 #13 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Well... last Saturday, for whatever reason, the Dream did not leave until 5:30. So my guess is that they had the Safety Briefing (as it's now called) well before that. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
near the beach Posted February 19, 2010 #14 Share Posted February 19, 2010 All of our muster drills were on the out side deck. After the ship leaves so everyone would be able to attend the mandatory instruction. Life vest are not required anymore? They should be for first time cruisers.

austincici Posted February 19, 2010 #15 Share Posted February 19, 2010 We were on the Dream 1/30/10 and the safety drill was over before we sailed. We watched it all from our balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
